P.Kahl Shipment: 02ArabesqueHetAlbino/Stripe, 04Jungle, and 04AlbinoPosHetStripe

topnotchboas Jun 29, 2005 11:09 AM

All three of these blew me away ... far exceeded my expectations.

First up, 2002 Arabesque Het Albino / Het Stripe Female. She was a little wound up. It was a bit of a challenge getting her into the cage. Im glad she didnt bite me.

Here is the 2004 Albino Possible Het Stripe Male. He, on the other hand, DID bite me, lol. He was nice and calm for the first 10 seconds I had him out, then suddenly he was off trying as hard as he could to get out of my hands. Swung around and bit me in a flash. I was really surprised at his bite spread for such a small guy. Hes awesome though, killer yellow coloration that Ive seen in the nicer stripeline albinos. He also has really weird/unique scales ... I'll get better pictures of it in a week or so after he gets settled in and calms down. THese pics of him are too washed out (overexposed), didnt pick up his color well.

And here is the 2004 Jungle Male. I couldnt believe his color when I got him out. I was just expecting a really white/light boa with clean contrasting saddles and nice tail/tail outline. Boy was I wrong! I think he is my most colorful boa. I am planning on putting him with Bonnie (02 EBV Red Group) this upcoming season. He, unlike the first two, was nice and relaxed.

All are exceptional animals. It looks like the Jungle already has his adult colors.

I am sure if the Ara bit you, you would have let her slide for being so pretty!

All three are gorgous but I ESPECIALLY like that female Arabesque! Her tail is KILLER!!

Congrats on the new additions!

Thanks,

regretting it when he put the ara and the jungle in the bag. He didnt know what he was thinking when he sold them!

Those 04 look like they have some good size to them, how big are they?

The albino is an earlier of born in May .. The jungle was born in July. I think they will both go on weaned rats.

choose! I will say that jungle has some outrageous color. It is very apparent indoors. Many of my salmons have excellent color but it doesnt really light up at ya until they are outside in natural light. The jungle lights up even inside in poor light...!

I think she was in shed for the pic. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the bag!

Ryan, great choices of some choice animals!

Got a great collection going in that "spick and span" little room. Amazing what you can cram into a small space

Looks like that arab is for sure gonna go this coming year... can't wait to see those babies.

Thanks...

package. I love getting new boas, especially ones of this caliber.

I still have one more coming from Pete, his wife accidently fed her the morning of shipping and Pete's out of town next week so I have to wait until the following week. It's a 2003 Albino Het Stripe female.

Im hoping the Arabesque het alb / het stripe will go with this guy this coming season, hes a 2004 but hes got some good size to him. Sunglow pos het stripe:

Well, that's the thing that blew me away about the jungles when I first saw them in person.
THE COLORS!!!
Man I love those things...

(yeah, my first post in a long time.)
